Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Since he had promised Burke to take back the treasure his mother left him, he had to be fully prepared for the battle.

Taking advantage of the night, the two of us moved forward and stealthily poked our heads out from a bush.

Wow, so, the blessed guys don't even have to sleep at night? It feels like it's already midnight, and the bonfire in the ruins in front of the level is still bright, and Sergeant Greg is patrolling the only passage, like he is on a catwalk.

Huh? The number of black coffin cars parked here has increased from two to three.

It turns out that the last convoy’s destination was here.

"Zero, Lord Zero, what are we doing here?" Burke asked in a puzzled voice.

I explained, "Every ruin in the Circle of Magic hides a treasure chest, and here is the best combat skill for dealing with mobs and interrupting the opponent's attacks in the early stages - Storm Foot! That's our goal!"

"But there are too many guards here, and there are only two of us..."

"Two is enough." I smiled and patted Burke on the shoulder, and continued, "Okay, learn a few words from me, Burke."

"Now, now?"

"Well, the first sentence is: Come here, all of you useless cowards and wastes!"

"Wait a minute, Master Zero, isn't this an insult?"

"Don't worry about it, just learn it."

"I, I'll just remember it for now." It seems that the kind-hearted little Burke is still reluctant to speak dirty words.

Well, it's okay to just remember it.

I continued to teach: "The second sentence: You can't catch up, you slow, stinky snail."

"······Lord Ling, I'm not doubting you, but are these useful?"

"It will definitely work!" I cleared my throat. "Then the third sentence is: I am really sorry, everyone, please be magnanimous and forgive me! Kowtow~"

"Hmm? I, I'm starting to have a bad feeling, Master Zero." Burke was shocked. "Why is this third sentence so different from the previous ones?"

"Well, I hope you don't have to use the third sentence." I took out the spirit-summoning bell from my pocket and shook it gently.

When the bell rang, three wolf spirits came in response.

Burke's eyes widened and he shrank behind me.

"Don't be afraid, they are friends and won't bite you." I touched the head of one of the wolves and said, "Come on, Burke, sit on it."

"Me?" Although he didn't understand what was going on, Burke still did as he was told.

Sure enough, Burke was quite thin, and even when sitting on the wolf, the wolf did not feel uncomfortable.

I nodded with satisfaction: "You can hold its neck tightly, get ready."

"what to prepare?"

"Let's go, Wolf Rider!"

"Ouch——"

The three wolves followed my orders and immediately rushed towards the ruins in front of the checkpoint, dragging Burke's screams like a piece of toilet paper, long and long: "Woo-ah--"

"Don't forget the three sentences I taught you!" I waved my hand and ordered, "You can use them now!"

"ah?--"

Soon, there was a commotion in the ruins, horns blew in the evening breeze, and the Grek soldiers hiding in the broken houses, all holding their weapons, chased the three wolves to the other end.

"Okay! I have to hurry up too." While the guards were attracted away, I quickly found the basement in the ruins in front of the level, lifted the heavy iron door, and opened the treasure chest.

I saw a small whetstone knife shining with white light stored in it.

After picking it up, I waved my hand gently, and the knife turned into a golden light and disappeared beside me, mixed with the light white glow of war gray.

——And this is one of the blessings Queen Marika left for the Faded Ones.

——If you pick up a prop or weapon that you don’t need temporarily, as long as you silently say "collect" in your heart, it will turn into golden blessing light and merge into each blessing point. When you rest nearby, you can take it out and use it.

——Of course, it is also possible to use it temporarily, but it takes a certain amount of time to fly from the nearest blessing point to A-ti's hands. Therefore, it is best to equip the commonly used props on your body.

Melina told me all this knowledge.

When you return to the blessing point, change the combat skill on the straight sword to "Storm Foot".

It’s a pity that one weapon cannot have two fighting skills coexist. Although the "Ready Stance" is good, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced when encountering a gang fight.

Well, there will be a chance to get it again in the future, so there is no need to rush.

While thinking, he walked out of the basement.

From the other side of the ruins, Burke could be heard shouting excitedly, "Hahaha, run faster! Run faster! You useless cowards, you're so slow, just go back and eat shit!"

Well, you've learned quite well.

I blew the whistle, summoned Torret, and rushed towards the woods on the left side of the ruins.

The wolf spirits also heard the whistle, quickly shook off Greg's soldiers, and joined me.

"Mr. Zero!" Buck waved at me excitedly.

I grabbed him and said, "Burke, come here!"

With a gentle lift, Burke turned over and sat on Torrett, and I rang the soul-summoning bell again. The wolves turned into faint light and disappeared into the air, leaving only a group of soldiers gasping for breath.

"Hahaha, what a joy! What a joy! Lord Ling, this is the first time I have fooled someone!" Burke couldn't help laughing, and his complexion looked much better than before.

I also smiled and said, "How about the first two sentences I taught you? They are very useful~"

"Ok!"

"Next, it's time to go see my old friend. I hope he's still asleep."

Driving the Torret at full speed, we soon passed through the quiet woods and found the ruined Airey Church.

There was a wisp of gray smoke rising from inside, and I walked in with Burke.

Sure enough, Galie was still awake, making the roasted rabbit that I taught him.

"Hmm~ It smells so good. Do you have any more? Galie." I walked forward and greeted her with a smile.

There was a hint of surprise in Jiale's eyes, and then he quickly shook his hands: "No share, no share, if you want to eat it, go grab it yourself, don't always take advantage of me."

Oh, this old scoundrel.

I gathered a thousand runes into a ball in my palm and threw it over: "I remember you have three cracked pots on you, right? You don't need to change the thousand runes. Do you have a share now?"

Jiale immediately smiled happily and made room for him: "Dear guest, you should have said so earlier. It's just a little rabbit. I'll give it to you."

Burke was drooling at the rabbit meat, so I used a knife to tear half of it for him.

It seemed that he had not eaten for a long time after transforming into a tree. After thanking him, he started to eat voraciously without any hesitation.

I turned to ask Jiale: "Old man, how much jerky do you have?"

"Hmm? The beef jerky is priced separately." Galie took out the cracked pot from the leather bag and handed it to me, not forgetting to bargain. "By the way, didn't I teach you how to make it? Go hunting by yourself, don't take advantage of me."

"It's a courtesy to return the favor. I also taught you how to roast rabbit meat." I took out the last rune I had and gave it to Galie. "Forget it, I'll give you as much as you have. Is this enough?"

"Yeah, almost." Galie pointed to the corner of the church. This guy actually came back from hunting a wild boar. "But why do you suddenly need so much meat?"

"Get ready for the war." I rolled my eyes and smiled mysteriously at Galie. "By the way, old Galie, if you are free tomorrow, come with me. I promise you won't suffer any loss."

"Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Jiale narrowed his eyes, stared at me for a long time, and seemed to smile slightly: "Okay, since no other faded people have come to me for business recently, I'll go with you."

Great! Battle power increased by 1~

"What do you mean there are no other faders? It's obviously just me."

“······Shut up.”
